GOOD NEWS (and some bad).  We are finnishing up a neat PBModem game.
It is a "full computer moderated, epic-style, open ended game."
The bad news is that we were not planning on running it on a network.
We were planning on having players call in their list of orders by
modem with a ONE MINUTE telephone call.

It will be set in a swords and sorcery world and it is a full featured
strategy game (that will keep you entertained for hours, while NOT on
the phone).  We will be asking for playtesters soon.  We are interested
in problems faced by other game designers and players, although we think
we have solved most of the obvious ones...

Because some of the excitement will be in player interaction (alliances,
double-crossing, info. swapping, etc.), we are also interested in knowing
if people would be more interested in playing local, national, or
international games (we have big plans :-).
